What is the difference between SMAS facelifts and endoscopic facelifts?
The difference lies in the depth of the impact on the musculoskeletal aponeurotic system (SMAS) and the areas of the face that are affected during the operation.
The SMAS lift focuses on the surface layers of the musculoaponeurotic system. The main purpose of this operation is to rejuvenate the peripheral oval of the face. During the SMAS lift, correction and fixation of surface tissues are performed, which eliminates age-related changes such as sagging cheeks and the formation of "flaps".
Endoscopic facelift works with deeper sections of the muscular-aponeurotic system. This technique is designed to rejuvenate the upper and middle thirds of the face. An endoscopic lift allows you to achieve a more pronounced lifting in the forehead, eyebrows and the middle third of the face, with minimal incisions and, as a result, with less injury.

Which is better — open or closed rhinoplasty?
Open rhinoplasty may be preferable in some cases, as it allows the surgeon to see all the structures of the nose in an almost unchanged state, which facilitates accurate correction and symmetry. In closed rhinoplasty, the columella (the anterior part of the nasal septum) is preserved, and the surgeon is forced to look at the structures of the nose from different sides, which can complicate the achievement of symmetry.
However, the most important thing is not the access method, but how carefully all the structures that were changed during the operation are restored. The choice of method depends on the specific anatomical features and goals of the patient.
Doctor: Agapov Denis Genrikhovich
Is it possible to have breast surgery before giving birth?
Yes, breast surgery can be done before childbirth, but with some important nuances.
First, it is necessary to understand that surgery can affect lactation. In some cases, this may make breastfeeding difficult. Secondly, after childbirth and lactation, the breast may change in size and shape, which sometimes requires repeated correction. During lactation, an additional load is placed on the breast, since both the implant and the enlarged breast are present, which can affect the appearance of the breast.
Therefore, before deciding on surgery before childbirth, it is important to weigh all possible consequences and be prepared for possible changes in the future.
Doctor: Agapov Denis Genrikhovich

Doctor: Tereshchenko Ekaterina Sergeevna
Do visible scars remain after mammoplasty?
Scars after mammoplasty are usually very delicate and placed in such a way that they are difficult to notice. For example, an incision in the crease under the breast or along the edge of the areola makes the scars almost invisible even in a swimsuit. After a year or two, with proper care, the scars become thin, and they are almost invisible to others. Laser resurfacing also helps a little if the patient wants to speed up the healing process.
Doctor: Terezanov Oleg Yuryevich
How much breast volume can be increased at a time?
It is important that the breasts fit harmoniously into the proportions of your body. Surgery is not a race for volume, and too large an implant can lead to complications and discomfort. We usually increase our breasts by one or two sizes at a time.
Doctor: Terezanov Oleg Yuryevich
How will skin sensitivity change after liposuction or abdominoplasty?

How often should I get a massage?
As part of the prevention, massage courses are conducted 2 times a year or more often, depending on individual needs. If massage is prescribed for a specific injury or disease, then the frequency and duration of procedures should be coordinated with a physiotherapist or traumatologist.
Doctor: Ulanov Vladimir Olegovich
How many treatments are included in the massage course?
Usually, the massage course is divided into blocks of 5 procedures, with a mandatory interim assessment of the dynamics by a physiotherapist. The minimum number of procedures in the course is about 7-10. If necessary, and depending on the course of rehabilitation, the course can be extended to 20-25 procedures.
Doctor: Ulanov Vladimir Olegovich
What should be the interval between massage treatments?
Massage can be performed daily if there is no pronounced discomfort. However, taking too long breaks within the same course is undesirable, as it can slow down the achievement of the desired result. An interval of 1-2 days is considered optimal, but not more than 2-3 days.
Doctor: Ulanov Vladimir Olegovich
How can I prolong the effect of massage?
If you are diagnosed and you have been consulted by a physiotherapist, then, in addition to massage, physical therapy is most often prescribed. This allows you to get a set of exercises to perform at home. This approach prolongs the effect of the massage course and accelerates rehabilitation. If physical therapy is not prescribed, then supportive massage treatments once a week can also help consolidate the result.
Doctor: Ulanov Vladimir Olegovich
What are the indications for performing septoplasty?

Yes, you can! First of all, these two procedures are not mutually exclusive, second, they are based on different physical laws, in addition, ultrasound does not have a radiation load on the body.
Doctor: Urtenov Radmir Dagirovich
Why are bones white on an X-ray?
X-rays can pass through some materials but not others. X-rays show images in negative mode. Bones are the densest tissue, so they retain X-rays the most. Tissue that traps X-rays makes them appear white in the image.
Doctor: Urtenov Radmir Dagirovich
Why should I take off my jewelry before an X-ray?
Jewelry is made of dense metals and stones that retain X-rays. They stand out against the body's tissues. Jewelry can cover or mask the area being examined, which can interfere with the diagnostic process.
Doctor: Urtenov Radmir Dagirovich
Can a doctor order an X-ray just to be safe?
No, this is against the law. X-rays must be medically necessary. We guarantee the safety of X-rays done at our clinic.
Doctor: Urtenov Radmir Dagirovich
How often can X-rays be taken?
There is no simple answer to this question. It is done as often as needed to monitor the disease. Studies are done at set intervals, but not more often than needed. The total radiation dose should not exceed 150 millisieverts per year. In general, this dose is not reached.
Doctor: Urtenov Radmir Dagirovich

Can acne occur due to the constant consumption of sweets and dairy products?
No, nutrition is not the cause of acne. However, some patients may notice a deterioration in their skin condition with an excess of "fast" carbohydrates or whole milk in their diet, in which case they should be limited. However, even in this case, diet alone will not be able to get rid of acne.
Doctor: Trushina Anna Alekseevna
What to do with age spots and freckles?

Doctor: Sharov Ilya
Are the scars visible after blepharoplasty?
The scars after blepharoplasty are almost invisible, since the incisions are made along the natural folds of the eyelids. On the upper eyelid, they are located in a fold that hides a scar with open eyes, and on the lower eyelid, an incision is made directly under the lash line or through the conjunctiva, which allows you to hide traces of interference.
Doctor: Sharov Ilya
How do I determine if I need a facelift or if injection procedures are enough?
It all depends on the severity of age-related changes. If the main complaints are related to small wrinkles, loss of volume or dull skin tone, then injection procedures can give excellent results. However, if the face has lost its clear contours, deep folds and excess skin have appeared, especially in the cheeks and neck, then facelifting may be a more effective option.
Doctor: Sharov Ilya

Doctor: Chuprikov Roman Sergeevich
How to get rid of stuffy ears during air travel?
During the flight, vasoconstrictor drops should be instilled into the nose and the auditory tubes should be purged when descending.
Doctor: Chuprikov Roman Sergeevich
Is ultrasound safe?
There is not a single high-quality scientific study proving the harm of ultrasound. Ultrasound diagnostics does not produce ionizing radiation, and the waves used do not cause mechanical or thermal damage to body tissues. There is no radiation exposure during ultrasound. There is also a principle of minimal impact: the study time is tried to be as short as possible to obtain a reliable conclusion, and the power level of the device is kept as low as possible.
Doctor: Tokar Olga Olegovna
Are there any contraindications to ultrasound?
This method has no contraindications in the usual sense (that is, threats to life or health). However, there are situations when it is better to postpone ultrasound, for example, with inflammatory changes or skin injuries in the sensor contact area, as well as immediately after surgery on certain organs (for example, transvaginal ultrasound after vaginal surgery, transrectal ultrasound of the prostate immediately after surgery on the rectum). If the examination simply cannot be performed (for example, with urinary incontinence during ultrasound of a filled bladder), then the procedure is adjusted or postponed.
Doctor: Tokar Olga Olegovna
Which is better: CT, MRI or ultrasound?
These methods complement each other and cannot completely replace one another. Ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation, is non-invasive, is performed in real time and provides good visualization of soft tissues and fluids. It is available and can be performed even at the bedside of a patient. However, the choice of method always depends on the specific clinical situation and the objectives of the examination. In some cases, CT or MRI scans are more informative.
Doctor: Tokar Olga Olegovna
Mammography or ultrasound?
These are complementary studies. Ultrasound of the mammary glands is safe and does not produce ionizing radiation, it visualizes cysts, dense breast tissues well, and is also usually more comfortable for the patient. However, ultrasound is less likely to detect microcalcifications (one of the early signs of cancer) and depends on the specialist's qualifications.
Doctor: Tokar Olga Olegovna
Do I need to prepare for ultrasound?
Most of the time, no training is required. The exception is, for example, ultrasound of the abdominal cavity and gallbladder with a load, when before the examination you need to not eat for at least 4 hours and drink nothing but water. Children under one year of age usually do not need special training. If you have diabetes, a light breakfast (warm tea, dried white bread) is acceptable before the liver ultrasound. For ultrasound of the urinary tract, it is important to fill the bladder by drinking 0.5–1 liters of liquid. An indicator that the bladder is filled enough is the urge to urinate.
Doctor: Tokar Olga Olegovna
How often do I need to have a preventive ultrasound?
There is no universal scheme, it all depends on age, gender, individual risk factors and doctor's recommendations. It is most often recommended to do ultrasound of the abdominal cavity and thyroid gland once every 1-2 years after 40 years, ultrasound of the mammary glands — annually after 40, in combination with mammography, and ultrasound of the prostate gland for men after 40-50 years is also about once every 1-2 years. If there are no complaints or risk factors, the doctor may reduce the frequency of examinations.
Doctor: Tokar Olga Olegovna
Is it true that ultrasound cannot be performed on the same day as some other studies?
Sometimes it is really better to divide the studies into different days, since contrast agents (barium in gastric or intestinal X-rays), as well as gas in colonoscopy and gastroscopy can create interference (artifacts) and impair visualization. The final decision on the order of examinations is made by the doctor, based on the clinical situation.
Doctor: Tokar Olga Olegovna
Is it true that getting rid of negative thoughts helps improve physical health?
You can't completely get rid of negative thoughts, but you can learn to deal with them through mindfulness practices and emotion management techniques, which can, for example, reduce stress levels, pain perception, and improve sleep.
Doctor: Titareva Alexandra Sergeevna
How to get rid of stress quickly?
In the event that stress is not chronic, then those actions that allow you to reduce your heart rate help: deep, measured breathing, muscle relaxation, stretching, meditation, as well as switching attention to something relaxing and/or pleasant.
Doctor: Titareva Alexandra Sergeevna
How do you know when it's time to see a psychologist?
It is customary to contact a psychologist if you want to understand yourself more or change your attitude towards yourself, your emotional state has changed for the worse, a traumatic event has occurred or there is a lot of stress in your life, as well as when you have difficulty making decisions and completing things, personal crises, relationship difficulties, behavioral and addiction problems, or I'm worried about the physical symptoms, but the treatment doesn't have the desired effect.
Doctor: Titareva Alexandra Sergeevna
How are sinus polyps diagnosed?
A doctor's examination plays an important role in the diagnosis of polypous changes in the nasal mucosa. Endoscopic examination is the gold standard in diagnostics. Also, the main additional diagnostic method, of course, is computed tomography (CT) of the paranasal sinuses. In certain cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may come to the rescue. Joint examinations by an allergist, immunologist, pulmonologist, and of course certain laboratory diagnostic tests can play an important role in the final diagnosis of the nature of polyps.
Doctor: Tymoshenko Kristina Viktorovna
What complications can occur with untreated otitis media?
Otitis media can have various etiologies (bacterial, viral, fungal, manifestations of systemic diseases, specific inflammations in the body), depending on which certain negative scenarios may develop. As a rule, the aggressive development of otitis media can affect neighboring areas such as intracranial spaces, neck tissues, as well as nasal structures. Lack of attention to the inflammation of the patient and the doctor can also form a sluggish process and lead to chronicling of the process, which leads to a decrease in ear function. A quick determination of the cause of inflammation and the early appointment of proper treatment leaves no pathophysiological chance for changes in the structures of the ear, leading to the formation of chronic otitis media.
Doctor: Tymoshenko Kristina Viktorovna
How to deal with persistent dryness in the throat?
Persistent dryness in the throat can be a consequence of both an ENT problem and the effect of problems in other systems and organs. The task of an otorhinolaryngologist is to understand the nature of the condition. If this is due to inflammation, then the appointment of local, possibly systemic, medications eliminates unpleasant sensations. The role of additional diagnostic methods is great. This can be a blood test, a study of the microflora of the mucous membrane, determination of the cell population of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. Also, the cause of dry throat can be concomitant diseases of the endocrine glands, hormonal imbalance, digestive tract problems, problems of the maxillary system, nervous and musculoskeletal systems. The attention of accompanying specialists: a gastroenterologist, an endocrinologist, a dentist, a neurologist can help answer questions about the causes of dry throat.
Doctor: Tymoshenko Kristina Viktorovna
Is it possible to combine physical therapy with other physiotherapy methods?
The maximum effect can be achieved with a combination of physical therapy, massage and reflexology.
Doctor: Tervo Elena Evgenyevna
I've been on my feet all day, why do I need physical therapy?
Ordinary household activity, as a rule, does not train any specific muscle structures, does not improve the amplitude and freedom of movement if it is disrupted. Carrying heavy loads, working in the garden, more often harm the body than they help. Monotonous movements tire some muscles and do not engage others, resulting in muscle imbalance, tone disorders, and pain. Physical therapy allows you to purposefully influence certain muscle and bone structures, improving their function.
Doctor: Tervo Elena Evgenyevna
How long does one physical therapy session last?
How long does one physical therapy session last?The class usually lasts from 40 to 50 minutes. Most often, the duration of the first classes is short, especially for people with severe pathologies. If the patient tolerates the load normally, the class time increases.
Doctor: Tervo Elena Evgenyevna
Is it necessary to select exercises with an instructor, or can I find exercises for myself on the Internet?
The selection of exercises is carried out individually, depending on the purpose, recommendations for physical activity and the level of physical fitness of the patient. Exercises can be highly specialized, aimed at one organ or area of the body, or restorative.
Doctor: Tervo Elena Evgenyevna
Can I go to physical therapy on my own without a doctor's referral?
In order to accurately determine the purpose of the lesson and the level of exercise, it is necessary to visit a physical therapy doctor.
Doctor: Tervo Elena Evgenyevna
Why do I need to consult an anesthesiologist before surgery?
Consultation with an anesthesiologist before surgery is no less important than an appointment with the attending physician. Each anesthesiologist should study in detail the anamnesis and the prehospital examinations passed in order to accurately select the method of anesthesia and individually calculate the dosages of the drugs administered.
Doctor: Chibisov Nikita Sergeevich
What is the harm of general anesthesia?
Modern practical anesthesiology is as safe as possible and practically harmless for patients. If the patient underwent an examination before the planned hospitalization and followed all the prescriptions of the attending physician and anesthesiologist, then any unforeseen risks tend to zero.
Doctor: Chibisov Nikita Sergeevich
How do I choose the anesthetic dose?
The doses of any drug from the practice of an anesthesiologist are selected individually, depending on age, gender, physiological parameters and the intended operation.
Doctor: Chibisov Nikita Sergeevich
What factors increase the risk of cervical dysplasia?
